Heroin, fark.

Because it is awesome

As someone said best (whose name I cannot remember): heroin is 100 times better than sex

And remember this when people say people should just 'quit it'. Think of all the times you just rub one out for nothing better to do and it feels good and remember, it's 1,000,000 times better than that. Chasing the dragon is because it's never as good as the first time, but it still feels better than anything else you'll ever do, even when your life is going to shiat, you can have a feeling than 95% of the world will never experience. Heroin addicts gladly give up everything else in their life just to have a smidgen of that feeling again. It's unholy in that it's quite simply the best pleasure I've ever felt, everything else has paled in comparison.

I have an addictive personality, and thus far have refrained from the harder drugs, with the exception of powder cocaine, which wasn't all that. I am a high-functioning alcoholic, though some of my late-nite posts hear might call the "high-functioning" part into question. Also a smoker, which has dogged me all my life.

I'm afraid of heroin because of all the stories of how awesome it feels. Knowing me, I'd end up sucking dicks behind a Circle K just to get more of it, after I had lost everything else. Thing is, I'm of pretty strong character. I just can't handle my appetites once I'm accustomed to them. They only grow once firmly in my life. No way I can handle narcotics, given my history.

And we knew this back in high school in the 70's. If you know that though, why would you even contemplate poking that dragon to begin with? Myself, i kind of figured with my predisposition, that's just something I probably had no business trying in the first place.

I've been clean for 17 years, ain't no farking way no farking how I would do that again. I OD'd once, I don't need to do it again.

I've always viewed it as a kind of Pandora's Box, precisely because of that description. I've never shown any predisposition to addiction, and I'm confident (but who can be certain?) that'd I'd be able to do a one-and-done heroin high, but I've never tried it (or any other 'hard' drugs for that matter, because, really, why bother with 'lesser' narcotics?).

Nonetheless, I've always wondered what it'd be like. Then I think 'Would I want to know?', knowing that the only way back to that state is to destroy myself? Would I be able to let the rational part of my brain convince the drug-enjoying part that "Dude, trust me, it'll never be that good again, so just quit while you're ahead (and alive!)"

It's kind of like that 'Would you want to be God for a day?" How could you go back to enjoying regular mortal life having had a taste of that omniscience? How could any experience ever measure up?

/Man, I really need to go make dinner before I do something foolish.... like enroll in a philosophy class.

The dragon bites even the most seasoned of pros. It's awesome - until it isn't. One day it's another drug to play with, the next you feel like shiat until without it. Except, you don't feel good when you manage to get more, you just don't feel awful.

It got its hooks into a few people I know - one is dead (Hep C from dirty needles), one is on his way (22 year old kid with a raging polysubstance problem), and the last is completely recovered and doing quite well.

Well sure, the way I do it. It doesn't seem like a good enough reason.

FTA"Jon Bon Jovi's 19-year-old daughter Stephanie Bongiovi was hospitalized and facing drug charges Wednesday after overdosing on heroin in a dorm at her college in upstate New York, authorities said".

If you want to regress some years and be a whining 6 year old, do Heroin. it will fix you right up. If you don't want an addiction and a whining problem, leave it alone. Every junkie I've known is a setting sun.

Then the sex I've had must really suck because my one experience with heroin (snorted as part of a West Coast SpeedballTM) was horrible. Nodding, losing vision in one eye, puking until I thought the next thing to come out of my mouth would be my intestines. No, thanks. It was well over twenty years ago and I still remember how much it sucked.
